When medical care falls below the expected standard, it can have devastating consequences for patients and their families. At Oliver & Co Solicitors, we are committed to helping clients secure the justice they deserve when medical professionals fail to provide proper care. Here’s an example of how we helped one family after a very difficult and upsetting experience.
Investigating a Tragic Case of Negligent Care
The family of an elderly gentleman came to us after they suspected he had received substandard care at his local hospital before his unfortunate death. After conducting a thorough investigation, we discovered that the hospital had failed to diagnose his cancer despite it being visible on multiple x-rays and scans. This negligence occurred on several occasions, causing significant delays in the patient’s diagnosis.
As a result of this delay, the gentleman endured unnecessary and prolonged suffering, with his pain going untreated despite numerous visits to healthcare providers and his increasingly desperate pleas for help. This failure to address his worsening condition left the family heartbroken, and they sought answers for what had gone wrong.
Holding Healthcare Providers Accountable and Winning Compensation
Once we had gathered the necessary evidence to prove the hospital’s negligent care, we were able to secure a meeting between the hospital and the family. During this meeting, the hospital acknowledged the mistakes made, offering an apology for the substandard care provided to their loved one. We won a compensation payment for the family, who also received a letter of apology from the hospital’s Chief Executive.
